Track record, in detail

The full stories.

Two decades of projects, with the detail that does not fit on a homepage.

2006

REF 01 · Industrial climate systems

Vismolog

Monostream started with a problem nobody had a name for yet: industrial climate installations around the world needed monitoring. Remotely, reliably, and at scale. We built Vismolog to do exactly that.

Years later the industry started calling this IoT. By then the system had been running in production for years.

2009

REF 02 · Swisscom

Swisscom TV Air

The App Store had opened in mid-2008. Months later, Swisscom TV Air put live TV, sports and video-on-demand on the iPhone, among the first apps of its kind anywhere.

It was never just an app. We built the backend services and a web client too, so the same platform served mobile and browser viewers alike.

2012

REF 03 · Swisscom

Swisscom TV 2.0

Middleware, architecture and applications for a national multiscreen TV platform serving over one million Swisscom customers: live TV, video-on-demand and sports across every screen.

The platform won a TV Connect Award, built on the streaming technologies of its era: Silverlight, HLS, Smooth Streaming and DRM, extended with specialized Mediaroom applications.

2014

REF 04 · with HPE

Monostream Flux

A software-defined NPVR platform built in partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise: live TV streaming and digital video recording on commodity hardware instead of specialized appliances.

Grid computing, clustered storage and sophisticated video processing record hundreds of channels in parallel, with upgrades that never interrupt a running stream. Transmuxing serves HLS, Smooth Streaming and MP4 to thousands of concurrent viewers from an intelligent cache.

2016

REF 05 · Swisscom

Swisscom myCloud

Switzerland’s cloud storage for consumers: photos, videos and documents, hosted exclusively in Swiss data centers.

We helped design and implement the scalable backend: automatic photo backup, sharing, galleries and cross-device synchronization for millions of users, with data privacy as a design constraint rather than an afterthought.

2018

REF 06 · Swiss Federal Office of Information Technology

Cloud-native for the federal government

For the Swiss Federal Office of Information Technology (BIT) we supported the establishment of a Platform-as-a-Service infrastructure that empowers internal teams and streamlines application deployment.

We built the integration connecting applications on Cloud Foundry with services on Kubernetes, including secure provisioning of critical services. And we trained BIT personnel to run all of it without us: knowledge transfer as a deliverable, not a risk.

2019

REF 07 · Mammut

Mammut Connect

Mammut Connect bridges physical products and digital experience. NFC and QR give every product its own identity, story and services on iOS and Android.

Digital hangtags support the sale before the purchase; registration, warranty and care instructions follow after it. Behind the experience: backend microservices, centralized identity management and analytics that feed product innovation.

REF 08 · A Swiss private bank

DevCloud

A bank needs the speed of a startup and the control of a regulated institution. DevCloud is the developer platform that delivers both: self-service project and permission management, instantly provisioned Kubernetes clusters with networking, authentication, logging and monitoring included, integrated CI and collaboration tooling, and a CLI developers actually enjoy using.

Today more than 1,900 engineers and 40 vendors build on it, on 100+ clusters in production. Onboarding that took weeks now takes hours. Microsoft published a customer story about the transformation.

We built DevCloud in 2019, and we operate it to this day.

REF 09 · Our own product

Kubesight

Operating fleets of Kubernetes clusters for years taught us what was missing: visibility that engineers actually use.

Kubesight is our answer. See your clusters clearly: fast, visual, no bullshit.
